Weekly Beer Releases, Sunday October 15th

A chocolate-coffee-vanilla-coconut-lactose-bourbon-barrel-aged-imperial-stout! 10% and drinks like a liquefied chocolate cake. In addition to the adjunct ingredients, we carbonated this beer far less than our normal stouts to give it a luscious and rich mouthfeel.

Odell Whiskey Barrel Aged Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout

Mountains

Odell's Lugene - a chocolate milk imperial stout is a perrineal home-run from Odell. This time around, Odell aged Lugene in rye whiskey barrels for six months; with bountiful amounts of dark chocolate and lactose, the Whiskey Barrel Aged Lugene profiles as a chewy stout that is as complex as it is rich, showcasing flavors of molasses, vanilla and oak. You'll have to hunt for this 10.5% ABV Barrel Aged Lugene as distrobution is limited; but find it, it won't let you down this October (like, maybe your favorite team already has.)

Here's a sampling of the best beers being released in the coming week around the nation.
